How to Get A Head

[Skiersaur]

I found a nearly complete Skink Oracle in my flgs's bits box. I figured it would make a great Priest... if I could find a head. So I turned to all the leftovers from my Guards.

it looks nice that wil be a good priest. What color are you going to make it

I'm almost done and will post a finished product as soon as I can. I'm a sucker for the classic blue skinks, though.

Still have some highlighting to do on the gold and leather bits (and some touching up, it seems), and the base to finish, but I thought I'd share an update.

wow it looks really cool and it has a really good looking paintjob

Thanks! For the body I used 2:1 contrast medium and Akhelian Green as suggested by a fantastic painter on this board, and then highlighted and evened it out with Baharroth Blue. The scales on the back and thighs are Talassar Blue right over the green and dry brushed with Lothern Blue.

The knife and scepter are Warp Lightning, highlighted with Sybarite Green and Gauss Blaster Green.

The loincloth is Blood Angels red, layered with Evil Sunz Scarlet, and highlighted with Wild Rider Red.

The helm and toe claws are Zandri Dust, shaded with Seraphim Sepia, layered with Ushabti Bone, and highlighted with Screaming Skull.

I'm gonna shoot for making the stone look like a varnished desert sandstone, but we'll see how that goes.

Quite pleased with the final product. And side-by-side with my other Skink Priest means twice the buffed Skinks!
